Broken tech across a lot of the room. Hosting was poor. Fast clues, no conversation and only interested in being reviewed
Hosting let it down. Clues galore. Was given solutions rather than nudges and escaped with 30 minutes to go.
A fun family friendly room. Some great separation puzzles and brilliant hosting. Some puzzles are a bit too easy for a pro team but it's a great first room for a family of players.
Itβs a very plain, beat up room. Honestly itβs just a bit dull.
No stand out puzzles (and very slow computer based ones!). All in all, lacking in imagination and care.
A classic theme and a really solid game that we enjoyed trawling through. It's a bit low on lighting in here, which made some of the locks a bit difficult to see and that's always something I find a little bit frustrating but that's entirely personal preference so it might bother some!
Some solid puzzles and a nice bit of communication needed.
Underrated game. Lots of fun ideas and great puzzles (with one tortuous maths puzzle). Clue HQ venues do tend to vary in quality from site to site but Somerton, where are played this, is well maintained with free parking outside and friendly staff.
(Closed now- just adding to my list of played rooms)
Nothing groundbreaking but a fun little game.
A good classic prison escape. I had done a few before coming to play this one and it held up as one of the better ones. Very traditional but its good clean fun!
Fun room, started blindfolded and then wow when it comes off, divided and unsure if you'll ever escape...but we did!
Reviews by escape room review sites
As one of Clue HQ's older games, Cell Block C is available at over half a dozen locations around the country, and I had not rushed to try it on the assumption that its age meant it would be one of the company's less interesting offerings. But it neatly filled a gap in our day's schedule of escape rooms, and I was pleased to discover it actually stood up well to most of Clue HQ's newer escape rooms.
Imprisoned for a crime you didn't commit due to the machinations of Clue HQ's usual bad guy antag...
